This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

  • Toshiba Satellite L650-07U, Hard disk failure and replacement

    Hi all,
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-07U Laptop, Model: PSK1EC-0700Q with 4GB RAM, 650GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium installed. At the time of first use, i made Recovery DVDs which took 4 blank DVDs using Recovery media creator.
    From 2 weeks it is giving problem, at start its slowdown with every application,  then suddenly it started Hard disk failure error and ask to backup important files. From that instant i did all my backup save in another portable Hard drive.
    I had hiren boot CD, and ran RAM test and found it OK, and then run Hard Disk test and found few bad sectors at few certain point, As 650GB Hard disk was taking alot time of time for checking bad sectors, so i stopped that application.
    First I tried Recovery DVDs to restore Windows, but it failed as Laptop DVD-Writer was unable to boot from those created DVDs (DVDs are OK as had checked it on Desktop computer DVD-ROM), Laptop DVD-Writer is also working as I test few more bootable CDs and it booted perfectly, but it is not booting from Recovery DVDs.
    Than i tried to restore from Recovery partition using Factory restore settings, it erases all data and reinstall new and fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for few hours than again pops up Hard Disk Failure message again and again. I searched here in Toshiba Forum and have found similar problem with other members and finally decided that it need to replace Hard Disk with new one. As It is now two and a half month old, thats why i need to buy new Hard Disk for my Laptop.
    I checked all partitions of drive using Hiren Boot CD, and had found that there are four default partitions in Toshiba original laptop drive,
    One hidden partition of 1.5 GB
    One hidden partition of almost 21 GB
    One hidden partition of almost 12 GB
    One partition of 561 GB, which was the original partition where windows 7 was installed along with all of my Data.
    Now I want to replace faulty drive with a new one and have a lot of question in my mind which I need to share with you guys.
    At the time of first use I installed Windows 7 64 bit edition, and made Recovery DVDs, and at second time of restore to factory setting I had installed Windows 7 32 bit. I have confusion about recovery DVDs (which is not booting from default DVD-Writer of Laptop), either it has 64 Bit recovery data or 32 bit? Or have both 64 and 32 bit Data.
    Toshiba restore to factory setting without using any recovery DVD/USB is the best possible way to restore Windows 7, How can I make same recover hidden partitions from original/faulty hard drives to new hard drive partitions? Is this possible and how?
    On Default hard drive there was one partition of 561GB instead of two or more partitions. Is this possible to split partitions in new hard drives instead of one big partition?
    As Recovery DVDs are not able to boot from laptop default DVD-Writer, is it possible to open those DVDs on another System and copy tem in USB drive and use it for booting? If it is possible than please show me the steps for making bootable USB from these Recovery DVDs.
    Thanks,

  • Satellite A200-23O Recovery Disk

    Hi!
    I bought Toshiba Satellite A200-23O two years ago. When I bought, I noticed that there was no recovery data, to form a dvd, in that notebook. Up to now, I have not needed to format my laptop, however now some viruses attacked to it and I need to format my laptop, but I haven't any recovery disk. And the waranty was over.
    How can I obtain revovery disk? Please inform me as soon as possible.
    Best regards...

    Hi Andrea
    You can order original recovery disc but I dont know how you want to create bootable USB.
    I know it is pretty complicated with this notebook without ODD but you can use ordered disc with external optical disc drive for recovery image installation.
    For order check please https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Toshiba Satellite a505-6005 hard drive issue and questions regarding options I may have

    Issue: start up computer and windows does not start. It eventually goes to a startup repair screen and eventually says "resolving disk errors...", and that's if it even gets to that screen. Unfortunately I never made a recovery disk or system image discs (I know that was not smart). I did however kept my files backed up so that was good.
    Steps I took: Took it to Best Buy and the tech advised me that the Black Tie 2 year protection had expired on Jan 30th 2012, and so it could not be repaired for free. I asked the tech there how much it would cost to fix and they had advised me that it was most likely a hard drive issue and that it would cost nearly $400 to replace/fix it. So I decided to buy a new Asus K53E-BBR14 laptop since it was not much more. When I got home and loaded everything up and got the computer to how I want, I went ahead and made a recovery disc and system image disc's. I tried using the recovery disc that I had made with my Asus in the Toshiba laptop and boot it from the dvd drive and it did not get anywhere. So I ASSUME that it really is a hard drive error because the RAM worked just fine in my new laptop and "repairing disk errors.." means something is wrong with the hard drive:
    Now that you know the background of what has happened my questions are as followed:
    1. Can I buy a new hard drive for the Toshiba and use the recovery and system image disc's i created on the new hard drive that i install in the toshiba? and just removed the bloatware from Asus (or does that not even get added to the disc's I created)?
    2. If so, will it prompt me to enter the Windows 7 product key? and therefore using the product key located on the bottom of the toshiba?
    3. What other steps could I take to make this toshiba laptop salvageable? This way i can turn around and sell it.
    Thanks,
    Russell States

    Also,
    I noticed that i can purchase (well pay the shipping anyways) recovery media from Toshiba. Can I use that on a new hard drive installed in the toshiba?
    BTW ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool and no problems were found with the memory. and i do not care about the old hard drive as I have MY files backed up. I just want to try to get this toshiba laptop back to being "like new".
    Thanks,
    Russell

  • Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320 recovery help!

    All the pc does is go to the Toshiba Splash screen, and then a blue screen that says "Recovery your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accesed. Error code: 0x0000185.
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media contact your system administrator or PC manufactuer."  I have tried resetting the firmware and also holding down 0 like Toshiba instructs. However, after I select yes to get into the HDD recovery, the screen flashes white and then goes right back to the same recovery screen no matter what I do. It's very irritating when I can't even get recovery to work -___-. Someone please help me out? I don't have any recovery disks, etc.

    To restore your laptop back to it's "ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS" you must 1st access "Boot Options" on your Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, or similar model & here's what worked for me. Start the laptop while tapping the "F12" key. This will open your boot options menu. At the very bottom of the list is an option called "HDD Recover"...click on it if you want to be able to access your "Advance System Recovery Options" where you'll be given new options allowing you to restore your laptop back to it's original factory specs. Please don't forget to give me "Kudos" by clicking onto my Kudos button next to my post if my solution was able to help you in any way...thanks.~: )  (((A+ Discount Computer Repair, Alb, NM)))

  • Booting Satellite A105 to Recovery Disk

    I have a Satellite A105-S2716. I want to reformat the drive and reinstall the factory default installation. I can't get the machine to boot to the recovery DVD. I have tried using the f12 or the C key at startup, but every time I try, it boots up to XP on the hard drive. Thinking I had bad media, I ordered a new recovery disk and I get the same results with it.
    I saw the thread on using DBAN but I'm afraid to do that without some knowledge that the computer is going to boot to the recovery disk after formatting the drive.
    What do I have to do to make it boot to the recovery disk. I find it hard to believe that I would have to reformat the hard drive to make it boot from the optical drive.
    Thank you.

    I have tried using the f12 or the C key at startup, but every time I try, it boots up to XP on the hard drive.
    I assume you can read DVDs from the optical drive using Windows. The problem may be due to a broken BIOS. You might try flashing that.
       ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.00 for Satellite A100 (PSAA0U/PSAA1U)
    Or you can change the boot priority in the BIOS so that the optical drive is seen first. You can do that from Windows on the Boot Priority tab in HWSetup. Look for that in Start > All Programs > Toshiba > Utilities.

  • Sun Virtual Box & Toshiba Satellite L10 - product recovery settings problem

    Hi-
    I had a problem a while back with my Satellite L10 and was unable to get full recovery settings after installing Sun Virtual Box and ignoring Microsoft warnings.
    I suspect this has now cloned my disk. Something is very very wrong. I am using Win 7 beta in the interim but would like my XP back.
    My notes to Sun Microsystems are here:
    [http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15106 ]
    Has anyone had the same experience or what does Toshiba recommend?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi -
    Thanks very much for the advice.
    It's really strange as the system runs through Win 98 options on booting the product recovery dvd but then gets you to a full & perfect toshiba L10 XP.
    I reinstalled XP and went through the process you mentioned above (F8 etc) after installing - at least my safe boot mode options etc. are there.
    My guess is that either the disk itself picked up on the cloning or something outside the HDD has been cloned or produced an 'image' of the previous HDD.
    If I want to get a new product recovery dvd (as a next step in my investigation) can I download from the net or do I have to order from Toshiba (is this a good course of action?...).
    My system can only burn cd's, but I could get someone else to burn a dvd for me if this is possible.
    Thanks....

  • Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 doesn't work

    Hello,
    because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought it in dec. 2007) didn't work properly anymore - and when after a lot of cleaning up it still didn't work properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with the 2 product recovery cd's/dvd's.
    Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
    But what abot *Product Recovery Disck2/2*??
    At one point the recovery program asks for an 'ADD-ON' but when I put in Product Recovery Disk 2/2 at that moment the program doesn't recognize the disk. During the rest of the recovery program the program doesn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of that cd-rom/dvd now isn't loaded on my laptop.
    Has anyone had this problem too?
    What did you do about it?
    Is it a problem not to have loaded the content of Product Recovery Disk 2/2 (can I go without it?)?
    Thanks in advance for any reactions!

    Hi
    > Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
    I dont know what Add-ons the tool asked for but as far as I know the Toshiba image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers and the additional software.
    So if you have recovered the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk 1 then the notebook should be set to the SAME state like at the first day of purchase.
    PS: what files can you find on the second disk?

  • Satellite A300-1G5: Recovery Disk Creator doesnt work anymore

    I have created my recovery disk after buying new Toshiba A300-1G5 model laptop. That recovery disk is damaged now.
    I have tried to make 2nd set of recovery disk, but the application is not working.
    error message comming "---- orisetenv/setenv.ini file missing.
    Please anybody help how to resume the application's (Recovery Disk Creator) functionality?
    Another question--- does not Toshiba have a online help facility apart from this forum? Forum is from user, can't we (Toshiba Users) get online help from Toshiba technical team directly?
    If yes please send me the route to reach.

    I also have a problem with the L500 Toshiba disk creation software.
    I initially installed the 32 bit version of Windows 7. I created recovery disks. I then restored the 64 bit version of windows 7 from the partition.
    Somehow I managed to break the Toshiba disk creation software: it starts, opens, lets me choose what option I would like, then the screen disappears and it seems like another screen will appear, but it doesnt. It is like a process tries to fire and then just gives up and dies. The same thing occurs when starting the Disk recovery creator.
    So I re-restored the 64 bit version of W7 to see if that would fix my Toshiba Disk Creator disappearing after the first screen. And yes, that did fix the problem - until I opened the DVD drive drawer whilst the software tried to access the drive. Stupid, but true. So then I was back to square one.
    So now I know how to re-create the error - by opening the DVD drive drawer mid-process, but I am not sure whether I feel like taking 3 hours to restore and re-install all my software to have this happen again.
    I tried to uninstall (worked) and re-install (worked) the disk creation software (tc00091600g.exe) which seemed to work successfully, but nothing changed - the same problem persists.
    It is as if not everything was uninstalled or there is some kind of corruption of a program or process not ending/starting when it should.
    If I knew a re-restore would solve the problem permanantly, I would re-do it, but it seems there is something wrong with the software that cannot detect an open drive and cancel the current operation without corrupting the system.
    I can read DVDs and CDs on the drive and will now try to install other software to burn disks, but my gripe is that I can no longer create restore disks.
    If anybody has any quick fixes or suggestions, that would be appreciated. I feel like it is only a minor issue and would only take a slight tweak to fix it, but I just dont know what that is.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - Recovery disk creator doesn't exist!

    Can anyone help! My laptop works fine, but I wanted to create a boot disk incase of problems.
    But Toshiba Assist>Protect & Fix> doesnt give me an option to create a boot disk.
    Is this expected with this model?
    I do have the Toshiba Recovery Disk that came with the computer, but have been warned NOT to test it, otherwise it may actually cause me problems!
    Any ideas?
    Satellite Pro A100-302
    Part Number : PSAACE-008002EN

    This option is not offered on this notebook model. Because of that Toshiba gives DVD recovery that can be used for operating system installation.
    >I do have the Toshiba Recovery Disk that came with the computer, but have been warned NOT to test it, otherwise it may actually cause me problems!
    Such info can come just from people who dont know what they are talking about. Please ask this person what he means exactly and I will offer you the right explanation about recovery procedure if you want.

  • Satellite A300 - Need recovery disk 2

    Hii
    Does anyone have the recovery disk 2 for A300? I have disk 1 but missing disk 2 :(
    Hope someone can help me or send me a link from where i can download the disk 2
    Thankyou

    Hi
    Sorry but recovery image cannot be downloaded and if you want to use recovery image you must order it.
    One more thing: Satellite A300 is nice notebook and runs perfectly with Win7 so I recommend you to use Win7 and not Vista.
    To avoid recovery disc order, obtain Microsoft installation disc and install Win7. Im pretty sure you will be satisfied with it.

  • Can I recover only C Drive on Satellite A300 with recovery disk?

    Hello there!
    I'm new in the new type of slipstreaming Windows. I was familiar with the old one with Norton ghost. It was easy for me, but I have a problem with the new one. I want to recover only C drive on my laptop with a different size than the factory size.
    I want to delete the first partition and rearrange others because I want bigger partition for my data and small Partition for my system. Can I boot program with CD then insert Toshiba recovery disk and use the Vista image on recovery DVDs to recover only C drive?
    Excuse me for my English. :-)

    Almost all the last night I tried to make a bootable CD from the EISA configuration partition because the only way to recover only C drive is to boot from there. At the last I did it, but now i'm not sure that disk will work when I erase the EISA partition and Image files from the data partition and burn them on a DVD. Now I'm wondering how to contact with the Toshiba engeneers to ask them.
